OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

During my internship at Cyber Dive, a startup that helps parents monitor their kids' online activities, I researched and designed three features. One of them is called "App Access Request."


Here's the gist: whenever kids want to install an app from the Play Store, they need to get their parents' approval. Parents can either approve or deny the request.


Plus, if they want, they can watch video recordings of what their kids are doing in each app right from their dashboard.

FEEDBACK loops

Navigating the feedback loop was initially challenging, but I enjoyed discussing the decision-making rationale with team members.

WE DID THAT!

I'm proud of my ability to research, design, and run usability tests in three months while working only 20 hours per week as a student.

Be precise in your designs

Don't make developers guess how much padding and margins to use. Just specify the amounts so they don't have to do your design work.
